📍Karadeniz, Turkey Black sea omits a power that I couldn’t explain. It’s strong, aggressive, dark and too mysterious. Its waters are never inviting, its intimidating unlike the Mediterranean turquoise, crystal water. Still its beauty makes you curious to dip in it knowing its potential danger. 🌊🖤 Its my 2nd time to visit the black sea and in each corner of it, the beauty is never the same. Though there is one thing that remains consistent, its the strong current and dark water waves flowing in hypnotizing motions. #karadeniz #sile #blacksea #turkey #turkey🇹🇷 #travel #sea #culture #culturetrip

The colorful houses of Istanbul are among the city’s most charming and photographed features. These vibrant homes are especially famous in neighborhoods like Balat, Fener, and Kuzguncuk. Painted in bright shades of red, blue, yellow, and green, the houses line narrow, cobblestone streets and reflect the city’s diverse cultural history. Many of these buildings date back to the Ottoman era and were once home to Jewish, Greek, and Armenian families. Today, they attract tourists, photographers, and artists with their nostalgic beauty and authentic character. These streets are not only visually stunning but also tell stories of Istanbul’s multicultural past and community life.

If you want to experience the beauty of the Black Sea while in Istanbul, Turkey, we recommend visiting the northern Black Sea coastal town of Sile on the Asian side. The sea here is stunning, with a light blue jelly-like appearance and various oddly shaped reefs. Some large reefs even have centuries-old lighthouse ruins, which are quite spectacular. The entire beach area is perfect for photography📸. Another famous attraction in the town is the Sile Lighthouse. The town is not crowded with tourists, mostly locals. They live at a slow pace, with simple and honest customs. The town is filled with various small motorcycles🏍️, giving you a sense of stepping back in time as you walk through Sile. Transportation: You can hire a car to get there. The drive takes about an hour and a half.

#SummerTravel Visiting Akshaxi Beach in Turkey was a relaxing and beautiful experience. 🏝️ This sandy beach is characterized by clear blue water and picturesque scenery surrounding it. I enjoyed swimming in the calm water and relaxing on the golden sand under the sun. 🌞 The atmosphere was quiet and comfortable, giving me the opportunity to relax and meditate. I enjoyed the beautiful coastal view and had a snack at one of the nearby stalls. 🌊Spending time at Akshaxi Beach was a fun and perfect experience, leaving me with wonderful memories of the natural beauty of Turkey. 🌟

Black Sea territory spreads across several countries including Russia, Bulgaria and Turkey—as the biggest area that covers the southern part of the Black Sea. Trabzon, Samsun and Giresun are some of the hot spots to experience it, however if you don’t have enough time to be away from Istanbul, Sile is a better option for you. Its a 2-hour bus ride from the city center of Istanbul. There are services buses that departs from Üsküdar that will take you straight here. Şile is a great destination to escape the busy metropolitan Istanbul. I mean Istanbul itself is covered in waters all over but experiencing the power Black Sea energy is another taste of experience! PS: Black Sea is my favorite sea in the world. The Turks call it KARADENIZ 🌊 #sea #blacksee #sile #istanbul #turkey
